29: Chapter 29: Driving the Lin Family Out of the House
Song Yuan repeated, “Get out, get out right now!”
Lin Hai and Wang Chunmei, who were cooking in the kitchen, were fuming when they heard Song Yuan’s voice, and they rushed out with spatulas in hand.
Wang Chunmei was just in the kitchen cursing Song Yuan with the old man, and then he showed up at their door. Perfect!
“Song Yuan, we’ve already had a family meeting. If you want to marry my daughter now, it’s not that easy. First, you need to provide a bride price of one million, and then transfer the ownership of this house to Lin You. Otherwise, this matter is non-negotiable.”
Lin Hai chimed in, “Song Yuan, my daughter is not someone just anyone can marry. It’s your honor that our family is willing to form a marital bond with your family. Don’t be ungrateful. In today’s society, there are more women than men, so it’s hard to say if you’ll even find a wife after leaving my daughter.
Don’t come to this house anymore. I already found a renovation team last night. It will be redecorated to be Lin You’s wedding house.”
Lu Chi’s Aunt was sweating anxiously beside them. Her house had just been transferred, and she never expected such a dispute. Now all the money had been transferred. What could she do?
“Song Yuan, look… what should we do?”
Song Yuan comforted her, “I’m sorry, Aunt, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.”
Song Yuan took the newly transferred property deed from his aunt’s hand and opened it.
“This house now belongs to Ms. Liu. Your current actions constitute illegal occupation of private property. Please move out immediately, or I will call the police.”
Song Yuan took out his phone, ready to dial 110, but Lin Xueyao stopped him.
The black and white text was clear. Lin Xueyao looked at it for a long time, then revealed a shocked expression, “Dad, Mom, the property deed indeed has Ms. Liu’s name on it!”
The Lin family heard this—the house they had in their grasp was gone? What kind of situation was this!
“Yaoyao, didn’t you say this house was in your name? What happened here? Were you tricked by this kid?”
Lin Xueyao was also confused now. Song Yuan had added her name to the property deed before. She had always thought she had the right to dispose of this house.
But why had it inexplicably become someone else’s property?
Lin Xueyao was so angry that her breathing became unsteady, “Song Yuan, what’s going on?”
Song Yuan told her everything, “It’s simple, I sold the house. This house is my pre-marital property. I have complete proof of purchase and it has nothing to do with you. I can sell it if I want to. The new owner has already received the keys. If you still don’t move out, I’ll call the police to mediate.”
Wang Chunmei’s face turned green, “Song Yuan, you actually… how dare you treat my Yaoyao like this? You can forget about this marriage! I think you’re getting too big for your britches, you don’t even put me, your mother-in-law, in your eyes anymore.
Don’t even dream of calling me ‘Mom’ in this lifetime. I don’t acknowledge you as my son-in-law!”
Song Yuan was too lazy to argue with such an ignorant woman; it would only lower his status. He just said one sentence, “Are you moving out now, or waiting for the police to come before you move?”
The Lin family members looked at each other, and no one spoke. They clearly still didn’t want to move. They were people accustomed to taking advantage of others; how could they easily let go?
In Lin You’s heart, this house already belonged to him.
Song Yuan solemnly warned again, “Not moving is fine. When the police arrive later and determine a crime, it will be impossible for your Lin You to become a civil servant in the future, and his future children won’t be able to engage in this type of work either. It affects the future of three generations.”
Lin Hai saw Song Yuan operating his phone, as if to call the police. He had no choice but to relent. His son was the most important thing; he was the root of their old Lin family!
“Move, we’ll move! Don’t call the police!”
Wang Chunmei cried out, “We can’t move! Our Lin You has a blind date today, and the girl hasn’t arrived yet. If we move now, what about my son’s wife? He’s the only son of the old Lin family, he needs to carry on the family line!”
The girl who was in the elevator had been watching the drama for a long time. She raised her hand and greeted them, “Hi everyone, I’m Qiaoqiao, here for the blind date. Please tell my great-aunt that I’ve arrived.”
The scene became awkward for a moment. The girl named Qiaoqiao turned to look at Song Yuan, “Are you Song Yuan? Can I add you on WeChat? I want to be friends with you!”
Song Yuan looked at the family, smiled, and said nothing.
Lin You was the first to break down. The girl was arranged for his blind date, and now, he was losing her to that kid Song Yuan?
“Song Yuan, I’m going to fight you! How dare you cuckold me in front of my face? You’re finished!”
Lin You pushed through the crowd and rushed towards Song Yuan, but he was short and scrawny. Song Yuan controlled his flailing little fists with just one arm.
“If you’re a man, act like one. Earn money and buy a house yourself. Don’t use other people’s houses to scam marriages. Can a relationship built on deceit last long?”
The girl named Qiaoqiao stood behind Song Yuan and added, “Exactly! Using someone else’s house for a blind date, your behavior is just marriage fraud. Anyone who marries into your family would be incredibly unlucky.”
Lin You was so angry that he gasped for breath, baring his teeth as he shouted Song Yuan’s name, “Song Yuan!”
Song Yuan ignored him, his expression showing almost no fluctuation. He looked at Lin Xueyao and said, word by word, “Call a moving company now. I’m giving you fifteen minutes. If your things aren’t moved out, I’ll call the cleaners to clear them out.”
Lin Xueyao’s face was taut, her eyes red-rimmed. She witnessed Song Yuan’s coldness for the first time. The way he looked at her was like looking at a stranger, or even less than a stranger.
It was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Suddenly, many scenes of their recent affection flooded her mind—the man who would do her bidding without complaint, who would hug her and coax her repeatedly when she was angry, who would kiss away her tears when she cried.
Now, that man only wanted her to move out and didn’t want to say another word to her.
Beyond anger, Lin Xueyao felt more disbelief. She couldn’t believe Song Yuan would treat her like this. Ultimately, it was her family who angered him, creating a rift between them.
Lin Xueyao was caught in the middle. On one side was the man who loved her like his own, and on the other were her blood relatives who raised her. It was very difficult for her.
Lin Xueyao knew that if she were to humble herself and apologize to Song Yuan now, he would still accept her and bring her back to his side. However, she looked at her mother with swollen eyes and her brother who was almost dying of anger. She couldn’t do that.
Lin Xueyao chose her family over Song Yuan.
After a long pause, she said defiantly, “Move, then! Who cares? When I move out, you better not come crying and begging me in two days!”
Song Yuan was amused. “Please, I already have a wife, who would come looking for you?”
Wait, Lin Xueyao said “two days later.” Two days later was their wedding.
She couldn’t possibly still think he would beg her to marry him, could she?
